    That is a proper calibrated fault and a proper classic solution is a proper calibrated wire😅. Thank you

    You know... Sometimes when a repair is ongoing... I brought into a scene which sounds like this 😂😁...my words sometimes:
    Everything is ok...but is not running 😂🤔
    Bless the proper calibrated wire!
    Without this...no electronics can be done!
    Cheers Sorin! A pleasure to watch your repairs.💪

    Nice one. Other repair shops would probably just replace the power jack, and laptop would work for a while coming back with same issue.

    it is better to remove resistor on divider, 19v to 5 v, but it is easyer like this, stay well Sorin

    Yeah! I recentlly came across that exact problem and I just said to myself "This is a deliberate design to make the device fail".

    Funny thing about the charging port detection with 5V, back a few years ago Acer didn't have any charging port detection and there was a case of someones laptop (and house) catching on fire from a very badly mangled charging port shorting. They started doing this which fixed nothing because we still get burned charging connectors, but also ones that are slightly too loose on the detection pin like this one. Usually we just remove a resistor in a voltage divider meant to turn 19V into 5V for the detection pin (next to PQB23 on this one), shorting it to ground is also a good option if you don't know where it is.

    Some online tricks exist, that works. The tricks vary by the brands of the laptop. I removed the battery, started an Asus, and the charging started while I inserted the battery. The charging problems are mainly caused by the weakness of the charger, that can also be a nee one. I used a 12 v battery screwdriver to fix the charger’s 19 v output, while the charger is AC offline. The generator also fixes locked, blacklisted chargers, and universal chargers. Generating the current may take up to 10 minutes, until the charger has a resistance against the generator.

    I have one of these I'm waiting for the charger for. Odd thing is it calls for a 45w charger, but I could get the 65w one cheaper. Replaced the cmos and thermal paste. Was told its supposed to work but I'll know once I get the charger. Then its up on marketplace since I don't need one.

      The tiny barrel connectors are horrible and they break all the time.
      I really miss the old square adapters that laptops had. They had 3 or 4 pins and they were really rugged

    • @mart43
      @mart43 20 дней назад

      ​@@ocsrc What about USB-C? Do you like that connector for charging because it is square?

    • @ocsrc
      @ocsrc 20 дней назад

      @@mart43 yes, USB-C is nice. But the laptops all use the barrel style connectors. They should use an actual square that is 3/4 or 1 inch square with 3 prongs, like the old laptops used.
      They never broke. These barrels, they are not secured in the machine.
      The boards inside are too easy to break the connector from the board.
      It needs to be a solid connector that is metal and part of the case, so if you bang it the PCB board doesn't break

      it will not happen, if everyone had EV cars, they would consume more electricity to charge the batteries, so power plants would have to expand and spend more on electricity production, and therefore there will be more pollution of the atmosphere
